About Maine

Maine – Stephen’s King muse

Wildlife, seafood, art hubs and famous resorts are only some of the main things Maine is made of.

Aroostook County is the region where winter brings snowshoeing and skiing while summer brings hiking and canoeing. In The Downeast & Acadia, you can admire the Mount Desert Island and the bays of the Atlantic from Bar Harbor or explore Grand Lake Stream.

The Mid Coast keeps the state’s treasures - picnics at the Reid State Park, art and breweries in Rockland, maritime culture at local museums or lobster treat in Damariscotta.

For urban experiences try the Greater Portland and Casco Bay region. You can find a great variety of theaters, fine dining and wine festivals in Portland or historic forts and iconic lighthouses on the eastern coast.

As for beach fun, the Maine Beaches Region has plenty of it – great seafood in Ogunquit, lobster boat riding in the Kennebunk and Kennebunkport and entertainment at the Palace Playland.

For those with an adventurous heart, Maine’s Lakes and Mountains region and the Kennebec Valley Region won’t let them down - skiing at Sunday River, fly-fishing in the Rangeley Lakes and scenic roads on the Kennebec-Chaudiere Heritage Corridor.

In the Main Highlands, the spotlight is on Baxter State Park – home to Mount Katahdin, the sprightly downtown of Bangor and Moosehead Lake.

The academic scene in Maine is also an attraction, with the University of Maine System as the leading star. The network consists out of seven distinct universities: University of Maine in Orono, University of Maine at Augusta, University of Maine at Farmington, University of Maine at Fort Kent, University of Maine at Machias, University of Maine at Presque Isle and University of Southern Maine. The discipline menu ranges from arts, community and environmental studies to accounting, architecture and nursing.
